I use a free website called Duotrope's Digest to track my submissions and it keeps track of tons of information that is easily accessible. You can search a database of just about every journal I know of to find out who's cool with simultaneous submissions, who pays, who takes a really long time to reply and who doesn't, et cetera. And, of course, it keeps track of who is open to submissions at a given moment and who isn't. So with one search, you could have fifty magazines that still read in the summer.

I hope you do end up using it. Selfishly, I love it because it has widened my understanding of the market, helped me to see that lots of great poetry and fiction appears in journals I--in my limited scope--don't know. Many of these have a fantastic following and publish amazing poets whose voices I've never heard.

You can even see what magazines have won what awards through the search.

But at a more basic level, it has caused me to READ a more diverse selection of publications, and that's the best part of all.
